BEHIND THE BEAT 6.000 listeners are already on board! You too? Tobias Fischer is your host for the Behind the Beat Podcast. This episode is dedicated to Berlin-based drummer Ziggy Zeitgeist, whose new double album „INSPIRE //RADICALISE“ targets the dance floor with jazz, beats, and a potent cocktail of psychedelic magic. Drummer Drummers are naturally connected to the dancefloor in a very immediate way. With Ziggy Zeitgeist, that connection to the beat runs even deeper.

And so, over the course of this sprawling work transcending all stylistic boundaries, the pulse very rarely remains within the resting zone – an…

In…

Jan Wilking Synthesizers, samplers and drum machines have defined his life for a good four decades. Inspired by the emerging Synth Pop of the early 80s, particularly the first concerts as a budding teenager like Depeche Mode, Nitzer Ebb and Shock Therapy shaped his further development, which led to the founding of the EBM/Industrial project STERIL in 1990, which was successful mainly in the USA. From the simple cassette recorder, Casio keyboard and mono sampler with mini-memory to the modern DAW with almost unlimited possibilities, Jan has witnessed the development of electronic music production, with his personal conclusion: Less is often more! Sascha Blach Passionate music nerd who likes variety as a listener, as well as a singer, musician and producer, because he thinks variety is what makes life interesting…
